NXT North American champion Keith Lee was this week’s featured guest on FS1’s WWE Backstage.
Lee was his usual charismatic self, displaying a lot of humility in the face of praise from Hall of Famers Booker T & Mark Henry while still making it clear he absolutely means it when he calls himself “Limitless” and says everyone should bask in his glory.
It’s worth a watch for those who already love Keith, and those who might need some convincing he’s ready for the spotlight WWE’s been giving him since last fall.
A couple of specific soundbites had me marking out. First, as he was talking to Paige about his performance at Survivor Series 2019, Lee revealed what Roman Reigns said to him during that post-match fist bump…
That’s a dream match. So is The Limitless One’s own dream match…
Yes please, I would like to bask in the glory of both of those.
Roman Reigns handpicks a current NXT title-holder to face him
Regardless of what many fans say, Roman Reigns is still one of the most important Superstars in WWE currently. On this week’s WWE Backstage show, Keith Lee was the special guest, alongside Booker T, Paige, Renee Young, and WWE Hall of Famer Mark Henry.
Lee revealed that Roman Reigns specifically told him that he wants a one-on-one match with him, following their matchup at last year’s Survivor Series.
Reigns told Lee:
“After that was over with (Survivor Series match), he then told me, straight up, I want a one-on-one match with you.”
The current NXT North American champion also revealed his dream matches in WWE. He said that he would like to face Cesaro, Reigns and Brock Lesnar.
Lee was one of the stars of the 2019 men’s Survivor Series match, representing NXT. This was the first time that the Black and Gold brand was a part of the PPV, and they won brand supremacy, winning four matches of the seven that were on the show.
But they could not win the men’s Survivor Series match, which was won by SmackDown, led by Reigns. Lee and Reigns were the final two competitors, and Lee put on a great showing, which has now led to The Big Dog wanting a match with him.
